Description
This a remarkable faux-memoir about the un-making of a film - a film Michael Turner was comissioned to write. However, whether or not this film was ever made is debatable. And only one print is said to exist. Nevertheless, American Whiskey Bar, a film seen only by a handful of people, is well on its way to becoming a curious footnote to cinematic history. American Whiskey Bar, the book, is an attempt to set the record straight - a story of sex, violence, lies, ambition, power, ambition, power, paradox, dreams and regret.
